QOTD: "If the media became unhinged in the adulatory Obama years through hubris, it might have earned back its respect and professionalism by covering Trump in even-handed fashion. But Nemesis does not work that way: those it destroys, it first makes mad." --Victor Davis Hanson

The way "mainstream" media is handling President Trump is quite different from how they (literally) covered (for) Obama. Consider the following as it relates to media coverage of our fight against Islamic State footholds in Iraq:

• President Trump didn't "abandon" Iraq and "create the vacuum" that allowed ISIS to gain its foothold there BUT OBAMA DID. www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/10/06/leon-panetta-obama-has-lost-his-way-created-vacuum-for-islamic-state/

• President Trump didn't ignore the intelligence community's assessments on ISIS or have that intel "cooked" BUT OBAMA DID. www.thedailybeast.com/exclusive-50-spies-say-isis-intelligence-was-cooked & www.thedailybeast.com/intel-analysts-we-were-forced-out-for-telling-the-truth-about-obamas-isis-war

• President Trump didn't say he "ended" the war in Iraq then make a video stating it was his "promise kept" BUT OBAMA DID! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mBGZiKi9yQ

The links posted above will be news to many, and that alone is part of our problem, though we can be certain if any of it happened during a Trump administration, if a President Trump had anything to do with it, media would be reminding us of it daily.

But that adored deified former president? Our in-the-tank "news" media will never tell you that Barack Obama is a liar with blood on his hands!
